Problem 7.3:

The stand-alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH) uses four time slots per each 51-
control multiframe shown in figure 7.14 .Use the super frame timing to determine the
effective data rate of the logical channel.

Solution:

From figure 7.14

 GSM frame either comprises of 26 traffic channel frame or 51 control frames.

 SDDCH (stand-alone dedicated control channel) is two way channel; it uses four time slots per
each 51 control multiframe

As we know that GSM multiframe of 51 control frames takes 235.4 ms with 8 time slots or bursts
per frame, so for four slots it takes 117.7 ms

Effective Data Rate of this logical channel is given by:

= 114 bits (information bits)/117.7 ms * 2(double than the traffic channel)

= 0.969 *2 kbps

= 1.938 kbps

~=2kbps-------------------------------------------------------------------- (Answer)

Also this is given in book that the physical channel for SDCCH occupies four slots in every 51 control
multi frames with an approximated gross data rate of 2 kbps per terminal.
